Marvel's Midnight Suns is a turn-based tactics game featuring superheroes and card-based combat. You must stop Lilith, the Mother of Demons, by creating a custom character and meeting familiar and new heroes. With dynamic battles, customizable characters, explorable hubs with secrets, and comedic banter between characters, it has something for everyone.


What we like:
  • Dynamic card combat system
  • Robust customization options
  • Fully explorable hub with secrets
  • Humorous jokes between characters
  • Unique abilities for each hero
What could be improved:
  • Bloated with currencies and resources
  • Poor visuals for idle animations
  • Visual bug for concealed units
  • Occasional freezing/crashing when saving manually

Xbox One Playstation 4 Xbox Series X

Phoenix Point: Behemoth Edition is an immersive and innovative turn-based strategy game set in a post-apocalyptic world. Its faction system profoundly impacts both the narrative and gameplay, and the world-building is phenomenal. The combat innovations, with firing weapons and action points, offer thrilling experiences. However, the lack of class diversity in the early game can be overcome by racing to save humanity from complete obliteration. If you're a hardcore strategic and XCOM fan, Phoenix Point is a game worth the effort.


What we like:
  • Innovative combat
  • Phenomenal world-building
  • Immersive turn-based strategy
  • Diverse factions
  • Rewarding experimentation
What could be improved:
  • Lack of class diversity
  • Overwhelming amount of content
  • Uneven campaign at some points
  • Super long load times
  • Occasional stuttering
